We continue with what the apostle Paul was speaking about concerning those whose work would be burned up. “Deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.” (1 Cor 5:5) Who was the Apostle referring to here when he states...

“Each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it (the one true foundation) endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned, he...

Continued from our previous post. It is apparent that some fell to produce the fruits necessary in order to make their calling and election sure because they fell to abide in the Lord, rather they allow the cares of this world, jobs, family, friends, ambitions and etc. to draw them away, and so...

In the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins (Matt 25) our Lord mentions that both the wise AND the foolish were considered “virgins” what does this imply, what makes them all virgins? They are virgins in that they have been sanctified by God, made holy and acceptable to Him through the...

Who specifically was the Apostle referring to here (beside himself), when speaking of being a “castaway” (1 Cor 9:27)? I believe the answer to the first part of this question is found in the Apostles opening address to this Epistle. “To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are...

Thus far we believe we have established, 1) that the typical Levites represented a class of individuals separate and distinct from the rest of the world, separated (i.e., sanctified, set apart) by God, and 2) that unlike the rest of mankind they are to receive no inheritance in the land, (that...

In Exodus Chapter 12 we read of the institution of the Passover. “The term Passover signifies to pass by or spare from an affliction. When the last plague was visited upon Egypt, the houses of the Israelite's were all marked with the blood of a slain lamb, that the destroying angel might not...

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees (Doctors of the Law then, now days referred to as Doctors of Divinity), you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven (the spiritual or heavenly phase of the kingdom) in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are...

Once again returning to our previous questions in regards to Armageddon. Although we are certain that many shall perish during the final climatic struggle between the old order and the new thankfully the Scriptures assure us that none of these shall see Second Death that is until first, they...

“What the Apostle calls the just and the unjust, our Lord in our text calls the good and the evil. That neither the Lord nor the Apostle meant to intimate that any of mankind are good, perfect in the absolute sense, is most evident from the trend of the Scriptures, which assure us in various...

In our previous post we had suggested several questions which we believe that when rightfully understood will shed further light upon our subject, that subject of course being the thought purposed by the Society, that those who perish in the final climatic end of the great time of trouble...

As was stated earlier, this discussion took place sometime back on another forum in which several x-Jehovah’s Witnesses as well as some active members who had joined the Bible Students forum were asked to explain the Societies teaching that those who perish during the great time of trouble...

Having in our last post seen the general view on this issue as stated by the Society we now would like to see what Victor had to say. Victor states: “The war of Armageddon will cleanse the earth of all corruption and wickedness and open the way for a righteous new system of things under the...

Before we begin our reply in regards to this subject we should first like to note some of what the Society has to say on the issue. The following was taken from the website: Facts About Jehovah's Witnesses Watchtower Development Imagine for a second that Watchtower is not the true religion...

Similar to our study on the differences between the beliefs and interpretation of scripture between Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist there exist the same in respects to Bible Students and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Although both groups are commonly perceived to be one in the same because of...

Before we begin this discussion, we should first like to clear up a common misconception, one which has been fostered no less by the Jehovah’s Witnesses themselves, it involves who the founder of the organization was and what teachings or materials the organization uses in their study and...

Revelation Chapter 14 VERSE 4 continued “These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being first fruits to God and to the Lamb.” In our previous post we learned just who...

Revelation Chapter 14 VERSE 3 “They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.” Only the 144,000 will ever sing this “new song” in...

Revelation Chapter 14 VERSE 2 continued “And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps.” Some question: Since the harp represents the Word of God in Scripture, wouldn’t the “voice” of...

Revelation Chapter 14 Verses 1-5 as explained by Brother Shallieu in his commentary, The Keys of Revelation VERSE 1 “Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads.” As was alluded...
